So it is your belief Republicans will lose the next election due to the media focusing on everything Democrats did wrong in the previous, settled election instead of what the current president is doing right now?
I believe democrats won’t start winning elections until they start prioritizing winning elections.
If you think democrats have been prioritizing winning elections, you desperately need to revisit the details of the story that you’re mad is being reported on.
The historic evidence says there's a healthy amount of firearms privately owned and used as tools, but mass production and industrialization made them cheap, prolific and fetishized them.
MUST READ "We need Congress to rediscover its spine. When a government learns it can disobey without consequence, it doesn’t stop at aid funding. It learns that power is not what’s written—but what’s gotten away with. We must make legalistic noncompliance a scandal."
It kind of seems like the inadequacy of the media is the greatest contributor to the present situation. At best, they’re like a ref sitting on the sidelines, watching reruns of The Apprentice instead of the game.
The press is all in. They clearly hope to retain access by not saying anything 47 doesn’t like, hoping to recover their reputations when it’s all over.
The press has so normalized Trump’s behavior that nothing he does is surprising anymore. I am with you on this one though, not releasing the innocent should be a bigger deal. That would mean Trump was wrong though, and we all know he won’t admit to being wrong.
My concern right now is the Trump 2.0 nightmare we are living through. Remember Joe Biden, his wife and son, and close staff worked very hard to hide his infirmities from us. Otherwise there would’ve been vigorous primaries, a stronger Democratic campaign, and very possibly no Trump 2.0. Remember.
Everyone in every administration looks to hide infirmities of the President. Weakness is not allowed in any form. Roosevelt is the prime example. And Regan. This Biden stuff is all distraction bullshit...every last bit. Anyone who buys in at this point is a moron.
It really happened. And now we face Trump 2.0. In my mind it’s not nothing. If the Biden group had not lied to us, we might very well have no Trump 2.0. Always remember that.
No. Democrats put up a great candidate, who very probably won, but the Musky One and the Orange Menace admitted they hacked the vote. And yet, investigate Biden for growing old. It's a distraction...and a dumb one. Wake up. Go get to work on saving our Democracy.
Voter suppression affected millions of votes, potentially altering the election outcome in key swing states. A lot of Black voters were blocked from voting—through purged voter rolls, closed polling places, and strict ID laws. That kind of voter suppression made a huge difference in this election.
The corporate press, even though it is accused of "liberal bias" is always on the side of the rich and powerful. So it shouldn't be a surprise to see them develop this blindness in the face of the trump regime's crimes.
I think you must have missed the memo. There is no impartially judged innocent and guilty any more. We went back to just in-group and out-group - us and them.
TRUMP is SHIELDING CORRUPT PEOPLE from legal accountability. He wants THUGS to SUPPORT his corruption too. THE GOP IS COMPLICIT and DOES NOT SUPPORT POLICE OFFICERS and THE LAW.
The press are now owned by the oligarchs, so they're on message for Project 2025 and their useful idiot Trump. Don't expect any honest or open and detailed coverage out of them.
Their strategy of flooding the zone is working for them. When I think about my hierarchy of concerns, it's amazing how many have equal weight, but if I was editing a paper or podcast, I'm sure I'd pick the one grabbing the most eyeballs because "revenue". The other concerns slip "beneath the fold".
The press is owned - lock, stock and barrel by shareholders.
Trump quickly went after his grudge enemies in news, so now every company has gagged their anchors and reporters. Those not owned by MAGA. The Trump chums wouldn't speak either way.
it's obviously been a trend but I hadn't realized the entire mainstream media had been replaced by corporate interest already til this last year. I think that confirms our movement from partial democracy to full oligarchy.
Need to go to foreign press pretty much now. I swear to god if this country breaks out into civil war msm needs to be burned to the ground for their collusion with Nazis.
Sadly, it's the same tune, no matter what the UGLY TRUMP TOPIC IS... the Major Press Cabal is right there with him, UNTIL HE'S GONE & they'll be resigned to history as well !! LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DAY, or as Jackie Gleason said in "Soldier in the Rain" "Until That Time Eustis, Until That Time"
The traditional press is failing us badly, especially in Trump press conferences when they fail to ask the most obvious questions that would derail the demented monster.
Remember the week Biden pardoned his son from some minor drug charges? NYT made it sound like the end of civilized life. But you pardon hundreds of violent insurrectionists and that’s Democracy Baybeeeee!
Sadly, many of the MSM were strong armed by the republikan regime of the turd reich's ministry of indoctrination & Public Enlightenment.. They lacked the spine to report the news. We are practically our own media
When are people going to realize that the GOP base does not access "the press" anymore. They get their information entirely from social media, cable news, and talk radio. Those sources are immune from reality based news. If we can't reach them through their algorithms, they don't know. Period.
Remember: this is all your fault for not letting Sara Huckabee-Sanders eat at a restaurant. And also because you made them wear a mask and use paper straws.
I know the GOP are scared of Trump. But these same people need to think about what happens when 300 million people lose all health & metal care with sky high costs. Millions desperate with little to lose seems to me a scarer situation for those aiding and abetting.
OTOH: Another pardon is above the fold on p.1 of today's NYT. The lucky felon had pleaded guilty; the pardon wiped out a $4M restitution order and upcoming 18-month prison sentence. His mom—a big Trump supporter—had just attended a $1M-per-head fundraising dinner.

Ya where the fuck is the press. Are they hiding their heads in the sand. That’s their problem because trumps going to take their freedom of press away from them! Especially if they go against him?WTF’s wrong with this country?
Nah, fascism is good for the MSM business. They need this drama, it drives more eyeballs with FOMO to watch/read. They also get those tax breaks. It's like a terrible reality show that we know ends with the deaths of millions.

Getting worse. I'll stop here.
But solid try.
It's a well-known fact.

You know WH reporters can’t ask difficult questions about this !
Cowards.
Makes total sense when you understand that he's a convicted felon and 78M people voted for that to lead.
The public will cheer while they are hung, so the joke is on them.
But I guess people support the Trump fascist regime. Even the 75 million who voted for Kamala. 🤷
it really, really is
Cowards
The lot of them
Not so!
But I thought the insider trading thing was kinda big too!
THINKING
And if you try to turn that around to "Hegseth's emials", "Walz' phone" or "Tump is old", it is simply is not the same so just stop.

But I catch your meaning. The Powers that Be are canonizing injustice.
The Dems are boring.
